Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero is desperate to help Lionel Messi win his first international trophy with Argentina.

Barcelona star Messi is yet to win a major trophy with his country.

Ahead of this summer's Copa America, Aguero told FOX Sports: "I'm more anxious to be a champion for Messi than for me.

"Hopefully one day it happens.

"It's his dream and everyone's dream. I put myself in his place and I want to try to do my best for him to lift the Copa America.

"It's been a long time that he comes here and he suffers. I also suffer.

"We know what he can bring and the rest have to be mentally prepared not to fail."
